She studied Art History (1977- 1982) at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. In 1984, she immigrated to Holland where she participated in the squatters movement and collaborated on feminist projects in Poland. She returned to Poland and in 1993 co-founded La Strada, a foundation committed to fighting trafficking in women. She has worked with La Strada and various other anti-human trafficking organizations in Poland, Thailand, and the former Yugoslavia. Sławomira Walczewska founded the Women's Foundation (eFKa) in Kraków in 1995. In 1999, Walczewska published Ladies, Knights and Feminists: Feminist Discourse in Poland, the first Polish book about women’s emancipation from a historical and a cultural perspective. As a feminist activist and a scholar, she is interested in international women’s movements and is firmly committed to understanding various differences and intersections of global feminisms. Inga Iwasiόw was born in Szczecin, Poland in 1963. She has a doctorate in feminist theory and literary criticism from the University of Szczecin where she is currently Professor of Literature and an editor of a cultural bi-monthly Borderlands (Pogranicza). In 1994, she published Frontiers in Włodzimierz Odojewski’s Literature: A Feminist Intervention, which is considered one of the first Polish monographs in feminist theory and criticism. Iwasiόw writes academic texts as well as prose and poetry and is deeply committed to feminist language not only as an academic tool of interpretation, but also as a daily form of communication. She has two sons and lives in Szczecin. 3 Barbara Limanowska April 28, 2005 Warszawa Sławka Walczewska: Today is the 28th of April 2005. I am at Barbara Limanowska’s apartment. I have a question. Could you tell us about yourself, about your life, about how feminism found its place in your life and what place it found, where it came from. Was it a person or an event that made you at some point become one of the most active and well- known feminists in Poland? Barbara Limanowska: OK, you just want me to tell you everything all at once, right? SW: Yes...as… You may start with anything in your life. BL: I mean... I’d rather start later in life, because I’m a bit tired of all these early childhood stories about how I preferred running and playing ball to playing with dolls... In reality, my first awareness... first conscious contact with feminism was most likely through Ewa Franus1, my friend from college. And it was rather late... at some point during my junior or even senior year, so it was kind of toward the end. Before that, it was more intuitive, I either liked something or not, but it was more about some sense of social justice, really. The idea that one shouldn’t simply do some things, because it was simply... it was unjust. And as for Ewa, these were more serious conversations. Ewa was... I don’t really know if she attended Renata Siemińska’s2 seminars or if she only knew girls who attended Siemińska’s seminars, but she certainly was in touch with them, and she was immersed in these ideas and in this way of thinking that was developing there. And Ewa... Ewa was from Warsaw and she was often going there and then coming back to college in Poznań, and she’d bring me some written stuff. And she was educating me. And it was a kind of... learning from somebody, learning through an intermediary, you know, because Ewa herself was the kind of person who was getting involved in all of this, and she was kind of passing it on to me, both information and literature. And I think it wasn’t as much through people as it was through books. SW: You used the expression “written stuff,” was it feminist written stuff? BL: Yes, yes. You know, at that point, it was completely inaccessible and unknown, and because of that, when she brought these things, it created an impression of some news from another world. SW: For example? BL: Well, I can’t really tell you, since I don’t quite remember [laughter]… There was this book and it made perhaps the biggest impression on me then. It was perhaps the first one I read with 1 Franus, Ewa: Limanowska’s friend who is also an art historian and a translator. 2 Siemińska, Renata: Professor at the University of Warsaw, in the Department of Philosophy and Sociology. Her work focuses on general sociology, political sociology, education, and sociology of gender. 4 full awareness, understanding of what I was reading. The only thing is I don’t remember the author’s name. It was an English book whose title was The Skeptical Feminist.3 When I think about it now, I believe it generally wasn’t the best feminist book, but it was interesting in a sense that it was a good reading for beginners. I mean, it was the kind of book that explained feminism in a very gentle and balanced way, kind of starting out with the idea that feminism wasn’t about hating men and being a very radical person but rather it was about some basic principles of social justice and equality. And I might have needed this then… I mean this gentle entry, which would allow me to justify my interest in my own eyes. And, well, that’s how it perhaps started. And later on, with Ewa, we also… I would come here, to Warsaw, and meet girls who had just participated in these Siemińska seminars, the group that later founded the Women’s Center, or The Polish Feminist Association…4 SW: And when was that approximately? BL: Well, it must have been around 1980, maybe 1982 or 1983… SW: And is this when your feminist activism started? BL: Well, not really, not activism, because what kind of activism was it when the only action perhaps that was going on then was this… It must have been 1982 or even 1983, since I was already working at the Art History Institute,5 and this activism was about sitting around at the Institute and arguing. We were arguing because I was trying to explain to everybody that they knew nothing about the world and that the only proper way of thinking was the feminist way. Yes, it was this kind of a period for discussing things and converting others. Because I looked and saw the light, it seemed to me that it was enough to say three sentences to others, and they would understand as well, since it was so simple and so obvious. It was a kind of period of this great naiveté, which was actually quite fun. But, well, that’s what our activism boiled down to, since there was really no social activism. Were we doing something in Poznań? There was one action in Poznań, but I really… I participated in it… eFKa6 was doing it, and I participated more as an onlooker than an organizer. But I don’t quite remember what exactly it was, but it certainly was a trip! The one thing I remember are banners… And I know! During the strikes at the Poznań University7 in 1981, while the strike was going on, some huge posters appeared, which exhorted people to accept feminism, to change the system, and they were in the same convention as all the other posters, on brown, packing paper.

  • Identity and Diversity: What Shaped Polish Narratives Under Communism and Capitalism Witold Morawski1
    „Journal of Management and Business Administration. Central Europe” Vol. 25, No. 4/2017, p. 209–243, ISSN 2450-7814; e-ISSN 2450-8829 © 2017 Author. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/) Identity and Diversity: What Shaped Polish Narratives Under Communism and Capitalism Witold Morawski1 at first, the motherland is close at your fingertips later it bleeds hurts – Tadeusz Różewicz (1999, p. 273) Aims I shall refer to concepts of identity and difference on the border between culture and society not only to better understand and explain waves of social anger experienced by individuals or communities but also to reflect on ways in which to address the challenges that emerge within the social environment. One is angry when struggling with financial insecurity due to unemployment or low income; economists analyse this phenomenon. Another one is angry because of the mediocrity of those in power; political scientists explore this matter. The media, whose task is to bring the above to public attention, also become instruments that shape events and they aspire or even engage in exercising power. Thus, I shift the focus to society and its culture as sources of anger and, at the same time, areas where we may appease anger (Mishra, 2017; Sloterdijk, 2011). People often tap into the power of identity and difference as a resource. I do not assume that culture prevails, but society needs to take it into account if it is to understand itself and change any distressing aspects of reality.

FOREWARD by Prof. Bronislaw Misztal Executive Director Permanent Secretariat of the Community of Democracies Retrospectively, the Polish case of democratic transformation, or the experience of a complex, co- temporal and multi-axial reconstruction of a social system is still a mystery and a miracle of history. It ran against political and military interests that cumulated on both sides of the Iron Curtain. Poland as the Western flank of the Communist territory was an important prong of this system. The transformative processes in Poland involved a number of changes in the areas of social and political life that were so solidly welded with the global political order of its era, and with the historical heritage of the region, that each of those changes alone seemed to be impossible, not to speak about any of them occurring concurrently. For those who lived through these changes (and there are still large segments of the Polish society that were coming of age in the late 1970s), who worked in Poland, posted there by news and media institutions, who observed the events working as diplomats, journalists, scholars or experts, the exhilaration of the 1980s sometimes overshadowed the complexity of this historical experience.

  • NSZZ “Solidarity's”
    Studies in Political and Historical Geography Vol. 8 (2019): 207–226 http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/2300-0562.08.11 Krystyna Krawiec-Złotkowska NSZZ “Solidarity’s” notions for the state’s role in social life Their social and political roots and status in 3rd Republic of Poland Abstract: The paper portrays the origins and ideological foundations of NSZZ “Solidarity” (Independent Self-governing Trade Union “Solidarity”) and their meaning in social life at the time of the communist regime in PRL (Polish People’s Republic). There are references to strikes (June ‘56 in Poznan, polish March ’68, June ’76, July ’80 in Lublin and Swidnica and August ’80) and, in 1980, the creation of Inter-Enterprise Strike Committee, which developed and published 21 demands aimed at the authorities. In the study, it is acknowledged that those demands are the ideological sources of Solidarity. The author of the text thinks that John Paul II sermons and encyclicals as well as Fr. Józef Tischner’s texts (published in the book Etyka solidarności oraz Homo sovieticus – Solidarity’s ethics and homo soviecticus) also had an influence on the formation of these ideas, which could bring back moral order, the rule of law, dignity and freedom for the society enslaved by Soviets. “Solidarity” also desired to improve the economic status of the country, particularly by ending the crisis. Those thoughts were, and are, beautiful; unfortunately, nowadays many of them exist only in the sphere of ideas or demands written in NSZZ Solidarity’s statute. Therefore, the article contains a sad conclusion, that in the 3rd Republic of Poland’s reality, “Solidarity’s” ideas are not attractive anymore.

    2 POLISH CINEMA of DIGITALLY RESTORED MASTERPIECES MASTERPIECES RESTORED DIGITALLY CLASSICS INTRODUCTION Since the Polish Film School cinema has become the exceptional trademark of Polish culture. Throughout the years behind the Iron Curtain Polish filmmakers proved many times that despite the isolation they were still the citizens of the world, who significantly contributed to the discussion of its condition through their output. Today their films are an important part of Polish culture. For years, they have been shaping our national identity, raising important existential questions, and uniting us around certain values. They have also brought on the social, political and moral changes and encouraged us to act. We owe them successes at international film festivals as well as rendering the Polish school of cinematographers famous. Polish films have many admirers around the world and thanks to the digital restoration the spectators can watch the most acclaimed ones in their best quality on HD TV, in cinemas as well as on DVDs and Blu-rays. 3 DIGITALLY RESTORED of POLISH CINEMA MASTERPIECES of POLISH CINEMA CLASSICS Antczak Jerzy 12 The Lady of the Camellias / Dama Kameliowa 13 Nights and Days / Noce i dnie Bajon Filip 14 Aria for an Athlete / Aria dla atlety Bareja Stanisław 15 A Bunet Will Call / Brunet wieczorową porą 16 Teddy Bear / Miś 17 There’s No Place Like Home / Nie ma róży bez ognia 18 Wanted: Male or Female / Poszukiwany, poszukiwana 19 What Can You Do to Me If You Catch Me / Co mi zrobisz, jak mnie złapiesz DIGITALLY RESTORED

Constituting Postcommunism: The Intelligentsia, Civil Society and Round Tables in Hungary and poland' Michael D. Kennedy The most prominent actor in the 1989 transformation of Eastern Europe was the intelligentsia, a class whose basis for power is its control over a special form of teleological knowledge, and a culturally constituted group whose claim to authority is its historic role as leaders of East European nations. On the basis of their claim to represent civil society, the intelligentsia, in association with the communist authorities, developed a form of transformative praxis, the Round Table, which enabled the peacefid yet fundamental transformation of Soviet-type society. In the wake of such "negotiated revolutions"~the intelligentsia appeared to win political a~thority.~What enabled the intelligentsia to win this kind of political power, and does the mode of its victory matter for subsequent political and social transformations? Answers to such questions require a broad comparative and historical sociology of the transformations wrought by the praxis of 1988-91.

The collective memories of the period before 1989 have been largely displaced by the experiences of post-socialist processes of transformation.

    Chudzicka 30/5/05 11:05 Page 340 Volhynia 1943-1944 Krzysztof ¸ada Creative Forgetting Polish and Ukrainian Historiographies on the Campaigne against the Poles in Volhynia during World War II Introduction Polish and Ukrainian historiographies on the campaign of ethnic cleansing against the Poles in Volhynia during World War II differ enough to have been created by the mind of a schizophrenic. When discussing the issue, historians seem to lose control of their emotions, resulting in what often resembles the delusions and hallucinations of a troubled soul. Polish historians accuse the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (Ukrainska Povstanska Armiia), the military arm of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (Orhanizatsiia Ukrainskykh Natsionalistiv), the Bandera faction (OUN-UPA) in particu- lar, of massacring tens of thousands of Polish civilians in the territory of interwar south- eastern Poland, now Western Ukraine (mainly parts of Polesie, Volhynia and Eastern Galicia, and the eastern part of the Lublin region) and place the center and beginning of the tragedy in Volhynia.1 In short, they point out that in February/March 1943, the OUN- UPA began a policy of ethnic cleansing against the Polish Volhynians that intensified in the Glaukopis nr 2/3-2005 summer of that year and soon encompassed all of south-eastern Poland/Western Ukraine. In turn, some Ukrainian authors claim that it was the Poles who started the slaughter of the Ukrainian population in the Che∏m area (the Lublin region in eastern Poland) in 1942, or even as early as 1941, and would rather view the Volhynian events as retaliato- ry massacres.

  • The Counter-Revolution Within the Counter-Revolution
    The electronic version of the book is created by http://www.enverhoxha.ru SPIRO DEDE THE COUNTER-REVOLUTION WITHIN THE COUNTER-REVOLUTION (about the events of the years 1980-1983 in Poland) THE «8 NËNTORI» PUBLISHING HOUSE TIRANA 1983 INTRODUCTION From the moment it burst out openly to this day the Polish crisis of 1980-1982 has compelled attention from the whole of world opinion. From all sides and directions a great deal has been and still is being said, giving the most varied and contradic­ tory opinions, assessments and definitions to it. All along, the Party of Labour of Albania's assessment of the true character of the recent events in Poland and its stand towards them has been the diametrical opposite of everything that has been said in the bourgeois-revisionist world. Right from the outbreak of the crisis in September 1980, the PLA pointed out that the strike movements in Poland «were inspired and manipulated from out­ side by the capitalist bourgeoisie of the West, by the all-powerful Polish Catholic Church and internal reaction. They were aimed against a counter-rev­ olutionary regime and had a counter-revolutionary inspiration.»* --------------------------- * «Zëri i popullit», September 7, 1980. 3 Subsequent events fully confirmed that the entire recent movement in Poland, both before De­ cember 13, 1981 (when the pro-Western counter­ revolutionary forces were in full cry and very close to achieving their aims) and after December 13, 1981 (when the pro-Soviet counter-revolution­ ary forces put down their rival through the use of violence) is nothing but the history of the clash of two groups, one more counter-revolutionary than the other.
